Most data pipelines don’t fail because of code. They fail because they weren't built for scale.
With 8+ years of experience engineering data systems at companies like Microsoft and Coreweave, I help businesses move away from "brittle prototypes" to production-grade, scalable infrastructure.
I don’t just move data; I build the "Source of Truth" that leadership and AI systems actually trust.
💬What I Solve for You:
Productionizing AI Pipelines: Hardening Python prototypes into scalable RAG and LLM infrastructures (AWS/Azure).
➔Infrastructure-as-Code: Building automated, modular ETL/ELT pipelines that don't require daily manual fixes.
➔The "One-Source" Dashboard: Integrating messy data from APIs, SaaS (Shopify, HubSpot), and DBs into clean Snowflake/BigQuery layers.
➔Performance Recovery: Optimizing slow SQL queries and high-cost cloud warehouses to save you thousands in monthly spend.
🛠 Tech Stack:
Languages: Python (FastAPI, Pandas, PySpark), SQL
Cloud & Warehousing: AWS (Glue, Lambda, S3), Snowflake, BigQuery, Azure
Orchestration: Airflow, dbt, GitHub Actions
Data Ops: API Integrations, Vector DBs, Data Validation
✅ Why Me?
8+ Years Experience: I’ve seen what breaks at the enterprise level and how to prevent it in your startup.
Speed over Perfection: I focus on shipping high-impact systems that drive revenue, not just technical documentation.
Transparent Communication: You get regular updates and a partner who challenges requirements to find better solutions.

I am a New York–based data visualization developer, automations expert and AI engineer, combining my storytelling instincts and knowledge of information systems with deep technical expertise in data engineering, analytics, and testing and evaluation.
React, D3, Python, and modern AI frameworks form the core of my toolkit, though I regularly leverage business intelligence platforms such as Looker and Tableau and low-code development tools like Retool when they are the right solution for the problem at hand. Throughout my career, I have built and supported full data ecosystems—from automated ingestion pipelines and data warehouse architectures to interactive visualization platforms and AI-powered retrieval systems. My experience spans Google Cloud, BigQuery, Looker, AWS, and Microsoft cloud environments, giving me a practical understanding of how organizations can structure their data infrastructure to support analytics, decision-making, and emerging AI capabilities.
More recently, my work has expanded into applied AI and agentic systems. I have designed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, semantic search pipelines, embedding-based document indexing systems, natural language interfaces for complex datasets, and orchestration layers that route user requests across specialized tools and data sources. This experience has given me a strong understanding of how large language models interact with enterprise data and how to build systems that deliver reliable, explainable results at scale. My expertise with building testing suites also positions me ideally to support robust AI-driven or deterministic automations.
Using Retool, I have led the development of enterprise software and internal tooling for organizations including Wondery and TIDAL, while also supporting startups such as Ylopo and Innovation Refunds. What distinguishes my approach is the ability to select the perfect tool from among a portfolio of low-code, agentic and full-stack solutions. When projects require custom React components, advanced CSS, API integrations, AI-powered workflows, or specialized user experiences, I can bridge the gap between rapid application development and fully custom engineering solutions to create software that feels tailored to the organization's needs.
